KEGS

Post by shnapc »

Hi please help
Bit confused with all this CSSE standardisation :?
Thought 376 was a safe score for KEGS, not sure anymore!!
Please can anyone shed any light on what is a safe score/cut off for out of catchment?

TIA :wink:

As 376 is a higher score than the 370 given for ooc green zone for KEGS, I think you can feel pretty confident of getting a place.

376 is probably well and truly safe, regardless of distance. Very well done!

Where would your DS have to travel from?

Thank you, new to all this :)
Does anyone know if there’s a lot of after school activities as my son is keen on that and how children manage if out of catchment?
Have arranged to see the school again :)

They do have a full programme of events.

Have you checked their website or contacted the school office?

my son travels by train from romford, we dont use the coach. That way, he manages to do all the clubs he wants to do. And the travel is straight forward.

Even with the age standardisation I expect it to push the thresholds of each colour up by 5 so 376 is still green which is about as certain as you can be.

376 is more than likely to get you to any school of your choice, regardless of distance. Very well done. KEGS has a full range of before and afterschool activities - from language clubs to sport and music. From our experience, it really would be ideal if DS lived close enough to be able to participate fully. Many boys arrive around 8am for morning clubs, and afterschool ones finish around 5pm.
